Solar-Cycle Modulation and Photospheric Magnetic Control of Turbulence in the Young Solar Wind

Yanwen Wang, Rohit Chhiber, Arcadi V. Usmanov +2

The solar wind is an outflow of solar plasma that expands from the corona to fill the heliosphere. Its turbulence provides a pathway for non-adiabatic heating and acceleration, and…

Averaging Effects on the Solar Wind Alfven Mach Number: Implications for Switchbacks and Alfven Transition

Joshua Goodwill, Subash Adhikari, Francesco Pecora +10

Averaging techniques in solar wind measurements have been a longstanding subject of debate. Using Parker Solar Probe (PSP) observations from encounters 1 to 19, we investigate how…

Magnetic switchback formation: a review of proposed mechanisms

Peter F. Wyper, Jonathan Squire, Etienne Pariat +19

Magnetic switchbacks are large amplitude deflections of the magnetic field within the solar wind. They are Alfvénic in character and so are associated with a spike in velocity and…

Dynamical Age of Alfvénic Turbulence in the Solar Wind

Rohit Chhiber, Yanwen Wang, Arcadi V. Usmanov +1

An evolving turbulent flow such as the solar wind can be meaningfully characterized by its "turbulence age" -- an estimate of the number of nonlinear times that have elapsed during…

Conversion Layer Controls the Evolution of Magnetic Deflections Near the Alfven Surface

Dominic Payne, Mojtaba Akhavan-Tafti, Joshua Goodwill +10

We examine the statistics of Alfvenic deflections in both sub-Alfvenic and super-Alfvenic solar wind with particular focus on a common parameter that underlies the definition of sw…

Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere (PUNCH)

Craig E. DeForest, Sarah E. Gibson, Ronnie Killough +74

The Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere (PUNCH) mission is a NASA Small Explorer to determine the cross-scale processes that unify the solar corona and heliosphere. PUN…
